Legal Support For Orders Of Protection

Orders of Protection, commonly referred to as a restraining order, can be filed at no cost at any county court house. Note that orders of protection are considered a civil case and therefore carry a lower burden of proof than a criminal case. An Order of Protection can be a useful tool to protect an individual from someone that may have malicious or harmful intentions. It is important to note that an order of protection is still just a piece of paper and only gives grounds to punish someone who violates the order at a later date. If someone violates the order of protection, you may need to utilize the local police department.
